Hello,
I was wondering - any thoughts of extending the Shiro API to support
asynchronous authentication/authorization e.g.:
interface Authenticator {
ListenableFuture<AuthenticationInfo> authenticate(AuthenticationToken
authenticationToken)
throws AuthenticationException;
}
I ask because I am working with an authentication backend which may have
significant latency (thus blocking a lot of threads). I am thinking of how
to fit it best in with Shiro. I am also using Shiro via ServletFilters so I
would be looking to see if I can take advantage of Servlet 3 asynchronous
features as well to minimize thread usage.
Just seeing if anyone may have thought about this.
thanks in advance,
Gareth Collins
